Subject: [PATCH] Compact sk_stream_mem_schedule() code

This function references sk->sk_prot->xxx for many times.
It turned out, that there's so many code in it, that gcc 
cannot always optimize access to sk->sk_prot's fields.

After saving the sk->sk_prot on the stack and comparing
disassembled code, it turned out that the function became
~10 bytes shorter and made less dereferences (on i386 and 
x86_64). Stack consumption didn't grow.

Besides, this patch drives most of this function into the
80 columns limit.
